Another fun, if less memorable, entry in the Percy Jackson series. One of my favorite characters was essentially out of commission, and I didn't enjoy the adventures as much. Feeling a little impatient with the build up. I did quite enjoy the addition of Zoe however.

This book begins to swap some of the laugh-out-loud humor and lighthearted adventure for some emotional depth and real stakes. I found the trade off to be pleasant, natural, and appropriate.
Riordan is fully committing to a greater narrative for Percy beyond the scope of this book. It never get like Riordan sacrificed this books integrity for the sake of the larger narrative. This book has its own emotional and narrative beats while still contributing to the larger narrative of Percy Jackson.
I would love to see these books continue to serve high-stakes action with emotional beats that resonate for Percy and myself. I would love to see the series continue to balance the individual books with the overall narrative. Much love for this book and what Riordan manages to accomplish.

the titian’s curse is probably my second favorite book in the series. the quest they go on is so interesting (as it is in the other books obviously). i love the new characters we get: artemis and her hunters, apollo, and thalia. i love thalia, and i’m so happy we get to see her, since she was talked about so much in the first and second books by annabeth. amazing book.

This book was so Dam amazing. It was fun to read, and Zoe is so funny because she doesn't really know what's going on in the 21st century. I loved reading everyone of this book and I just love all the characters so dam much. this book was so dam amazing. OK I'll stop using dam now.
